Saravanan Radhakrishnan, Distinguished Engineer at Cisco, looks at how the rapid rise in encrypted communications and security impacts the network. How prevalent is encrypted traffic is in your enterprise? Did you know that encryption is being used by evasive applications and malicious software to escape detection in corporate networks? Can you pinpoint end-points in your network that are using weak cipher suites exposing their communications and making them vulnerable? The network plays a critical role in addressing these challenges. Cisco’s network architecture provides a platform for security focused network telemetry and analytics that can detect an in-progress attack (even when encrypted) and rapidly trigger policy driven remediation to mitigate the attack. Saravanan describes network security solutions including innovations at the ASIC level that enable the software and security analytics.
